Alarm Relay System (PPS)
What does the term mean
Transmission of alarm messages between the object and the receiving center (alarm receiving center).
PPS is the "communication bridge" between on-site technology (PZTS/EPS/ACS) and the monitoring centre. Without reliable transmission, monitoring is only theory.
What is being looked at in practice
- Dohled nad linkou: communication failure detection.
- Redundance: primary and backup transmission (e.g. IP + GSM/LTE).
- Message prioritization: fire/attack has a different weight than failure.
PPS is typically dealt with in connection with an external reception center, responsible persons and agreed reaction times.
Practical meaning

When is the term resolved
Alarm Relay System (PPS) is mainly handled in practice when designing a facility, auditing security, handing over security technology, or when dealing with an alarm and incident.
Common mistakes in practice
The most common mistake is to deal with technology in isolation, without a procedure for operation, responsible persons, recording and response in real operation.
What to do in practice
If the term applies to your real operation, it connects to Site security. That is where we deal with the specific space, scope, responsibility and next step before deployment.
